Probably true. But you can do a lot better if you use
non-random nameservers.
The problem is finding them. I've never found a better
approach than asking friends and then testing the response
times. It seems like there should be a way to
systematically search your network neighborhood for
nameservers and pick a few that work well.
Saying "Use 4.2.2.1" may be a good answer to "What
nameserver can I use?", but it's not an answer at all to
the question "How do I find a good nameserver from here?"
